Re: [foxboro] Making more space in /usr/local

I have used a simple symbolic link to do the same thing.
Much easier, no reboot.

1. mkdir /opt/local
2. (copy all files from /usr/local to /opt/local)
3. rmdir /usr/local
4. ln -s /opt/local /usr/local

List Gurus,

Here is what I did to make my /usr/local bigger.  Will someone please 
comment on the validity of this procedure before I get so far into this 
hole that I can never dig myself out?

Retarget /usr/local to /opt/ulocal
                a) cp -r /usr/local/* /opt/ulocal #Probably should have done 
"cp -R ..."
                b) Added line to /etc/vfstab --> "/opt/ulocal/ - /usr/local 
lofs - yes -"
                c) renamed /usr/local to /usr/local.orig
                d) mkdir /usr/local
                e) reboot

The idea is to make /usr/local really refer to /opt/ulocal (where I have 
lots of space)
